Before we can find ways in which to combat sound pollution, it would be advantageous to understand just how sound travels and is transmitted.

Soundproofing Blackrod Greater Manchester (BL6)

There basically a couple of ways in which sound can travel around a room:

1. By the vibration of air molecules.

2. By vibration of solid materials and objects.

Although sound can also travel through liquids, unless you're wanting to isolate noise from an aquarium or swimming pool, we'll just be concerned with how to reduce sound levels in rooms within a structure.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR

If you glance around the room or area to be soundproofed and notice open air-ducting, gaps around doors, ill fitted windows and even light fittings and electrical sockets, these are all factors that can transfer sound. All noise and sounds will initiate movement and vibration of the air molecules, and it is this that we pick up and hear. All sounds are transferred through the air in this same way; it does not matter if it's passing aircraft, kids playing, road traffic, machinery or music playing that creates the sound.

You must therefore imagine your room as a boat and inspect it carefully for leaks that require sealing.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

We now understand that sounds are just the vibration of air being processed by the ear, but that vibration is also absorbed by solid objects. Sound will vibrate the walls, ceilings and floors of your rooms, and may result in a resonation effect that is transferred outside of the area. Even in a room that's encased in a solid material that's somewhat resistant to sound vibrations, such as a concrete lined basement, the sound can sometimes be reflected and perhaps even amplified to other areas of the property.

But, how can these sound generating effects be stopped from creating an issue? The answer is naturally, soundproofing!

BASIC STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

Think about covering bare floors, which resonate and reflect sound, with a rug or carpet. The rugs or other soft coverings will help to soak up sounds but can also add a touch of style to a previously bare room. Window drapes and wall coverings can also be employed to improve soundproofing and are easy to install.

Track down areas in the room where noise can come in or escape from; windows, electrical sockets, light fittings and door frames, and close off the holes or gaps. There are unique acoustic sealants available on the market that suppress the sound waves, and don't transmit them to surrounding materials. Acoustic sealants can be a little more expensive than standard plaster or other sealant products, however the special design has far greater soundproofing performance and is worth the small additional cost.

If your room is a blank canvas and you are soundproofing while you renovate or decorate, consider putting up a layer of plasterboard or soundboard, (also called drywall, sheet rock or gypsum board). This is a fairly dense type of board that is a perfect and economic soundproofing material. It's great if you are installing a study, music studio or home cinema in your property in Blackrod. It is best to hire an experienced Blackrod tradesman to fit the plasterboard unless you've experience in its application.

One last easy soundproofing solution is to look at the materials your doors are made of. Whilst hollow doors are lightweight and fairly affordable, their soundproofing qualities aren't anything to write home about. Switching hollow doors for solid ones will substantially improve the soundproofing of an area with only a little more cost.

The first questions you can expect to be asked are:

  1. What area needs soundproofing? i.e. Is it a plasterboard partition room, a concrete lined cellar, an attic conversion or a brick walled room.
  2. What are the dimensions of the space or room that has to be soundproofed?
  3. Is it external noise or internal sounds that you want to deal with? i.e. To stop overflying aircraft, neighbours or road noise, or is it from internally produced sounds from a home cinema or music studio for example.
  4. Exactly where is the primary source of the noise coming from? i.e. Overhead, through the walls, ceiling, windows, floors or doors, or a mixture.

With answers to these questions a good soundproofing firm in Blackrod will offer you solutions to suit your situation, and just as important, your allotted budget. Solutions will vary according to the different materials needed for each of the trouble spots within your home.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF FLOORS, WALLS and CEILINGS

There are 2 key areas that need to be dealt with to successfully soundproof any room or space:

  1. Cut down on the ways that sound is transmitted through and reflected by hard surfaces.
  2. Improve sound absorption.

This requires an on-site survey to verify exactly what areas require enhancing from the current state.

Solutions identified by the survey will probably include the addition of materials with different densities to help enhance the soundproofing properties of the space. Soundproofing will be enhanced by the installation of acoustic rubber and foam which will absorb soundwaves and enhance and a room's sound quality.

Voids between joists may need insulating to remove the resonating gap between them. If you imagine a drum for example, you're looking at a noise increasing void enclosed within a resonating material; in essence what you might find inside floor and ceiling joists, or cavities in walls.

Mixed layers of differing mass and density materials work better at absorbing noise than a single soundproofing material layer of one type. This is due to the fact that the various frequencies are absorbed differently by different materials, therefore a range of shapes, densities and layers within your soundproofing panels are necessary for the best results.

All soundproofing companies in Blackrod must follow the regulations for residential buildings laid out in the Building Regulations (Part E). These regulations should be observed in order to safeguard yourself and neighbours from being negatively impacted by sound pollution.
